Chapter 1708 Not Willing to Settle
Wu Ge gave a faint "hmm", "I have suffered many injuries on the battlefield over the years, and now this body is not of much use, so naturally I have to go back and retire to the government and the public."
"Is the injury serious? Come here and let me take a look." On weekdays, Ruoyin was in front of Wuge, and sometimes it was the relationship between the queen and the courtiers.
But most of the time it is the relationship between brothers and sisters, not those particular ones.
She thought that she would heal herself, and Ruoyin planned to take advantage of this opportunity to treat Wu Ge when she was sick.
However, Wuge said vaguely: "That, that, it's actually not that serious, it doesn't affect life, it's just that the legs and feet are not as sharp as before."
"Really?" In order to prevent Wu Ge from not telling the truth, Ruoyin emphasized it again, "You are not allowed to hide your physical discomfort from me like Ama, if you do, I will sever your brother-sister relationship with you! "
Five grids: "It is true."
Hearing this, Ruoyin stared at Wuge's eyes for a few seconds.
She saw sincerity in Wu Ge's eyes, and there was no trace of lying.
But she still said worriedly: "Then you have to come here too, let me feel the pulse."
The five grids couldn't hold back Ruoyin, so he finally walked from the bottom to the table next to Ruoyin and sat down.
Ruoyin felt Wuge's pulse across the table.
During the pulse diagnosis, she was very focused.
When he found that Wuge's body was indeed fine, he was relieved.
And Wu Ge also returned to the lower seat to take a seat again, "I just thought that since I am too old to go to the battlefield, I might as well go back to the countryside and live a comfortable life with my wife and children."
Ruoyin: "Fourth brother, what do you mean by age? You are only in your thirties, even if you can't go to the battlefield, but you have made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, the emperor will arrange other official positions for you, maybe It can make you a military adviser or something."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Ge paused slightly, and his piercing eyes dimmed slightly.
After a few seconds, only five frames replied: "The emperor also told me this, but I am a martial arts practitioner and I am used to fighting on the battlefield. If I don’t like something, then I’d rather not do it than settle for it.”
"Besides, when it was time to fight hard, I did my best, made a lot of military exploits, and enjoyed the glory in the officialdom. Regardless of whether it is an official position or a title, I have already reached the top, and I have seen everything. Now There is nothing to regret about retiring to the ruling and opposition parties."
Ruoyin could hear from Wuge's words that he no longer had much feeling for the court, and that he had seen through the struggle for power, the official customs and the state system.
She thought that it was true that Wu Ge had old injuries, because he was loyal to Fourth Master and would not bully him.
It's just that Wuge retreated to the ruling and opposition parties through old injuries, which may have another meaning.
That is, Wuge knew that his official position and title had reached the peak, and he had also reached the point where his achievements were overwhelming.
If he made any further contributions, it would be detrimental to him, Yu Siye, and the Ulanara family.
Wuge is a smart person, he accepts as soon as he sees a deal!
After thinking for a while, Ruoyin asked, "Fourth brother, have you really thought about this matter?"
Wuge didn't answer Ruoyin immediately, but thought about it seriously for a few seconds, "Well, I've figured it out, there are generations of talents in the country, and each generation is better than the previous generation! It's time for me to step down and give the newcomers a chance."
His tone is light, giving people a kind of calm and breezy, unrestrained and neat.
Everyone has their own ideas, and since Wuge said so, no matter how reluctant Ruoyin was, she didn't ask any more questions.
In his view, although Wu Ge is in the court, he can see clearly, knowing when to fight hard and when to let go, and live the life he wants.
It is not a happy life to go back to the countryside and live an ordinary life with my wife and children.
In the first half of his life, Wuge wanted to fight hard, win glory for his family, and make contributions to the Qing Dynasty.
He did all of these.
If it continues, not to mention that his body is not as good as before, and his inner sense of accomplishment is also greatly reduced. The key point is that he has no room for improvement.
And if the reputation of being a master of meritorious service has been passed on, it is like a bomb buried in deep water to him.
It might explode between him and fourth master at any time.
Even if the relationship between Wu Ge and Si Ye is strong enough, and they trust each other enough, there is no guarantee that other officials will not be jealous and make a fuss about this matter.
And Ruoyinbie's brothers, although they were still officials in the court, were not as big as Wuge officials, so they didn't get in the way.
In addition, the young men in the clan will continue scientific research, win honor for the Ulanala family, and serve the Qing Dynasty!
After about a stick of incense, Wuge got up and said goodbye to Ruoyin, "Empress, this slave will leave the capital in a few days, and I'll leave before the household chores are settled!"
His voice was thick and free, but at the same time, there was a trace of helplessness and reluctance.
Ruoyin looked at the five grids, and said "Yes", many words stuck in his throat.
But everyone has their own life, no matter how reluctant she is, she can't force others.
Officials in the capital, although the mansions are all built in the capital.
But their hometowns are all from all corners of the country.
Since Wu Ge came to bid farewell to Ruoyin, he was not going back to the capital mansion, but to his ancestor's hometown.
Wuge told her just now that the ancestors of the Ulanala family belonged to the nomadic people in the Songliao Plain south of Changbai Mountain.
After they go back, they plan to experience the nomadic life.
After experiencing the life of the ancestors, I will travel around the mountains and rivers, visit the scenery of the Qing Dynasty, and return to Beijing once or twice a year.
After all, Jue Luo and the others are still in the capital.
Of course, Wuge can also choose not to return to his hometown and continue to live in the capital.
But Wu Ge did this, presumably he had his own considerations.
Ruoyin didn't like parting, so she didn't give away five grids, but let the servants below send them away.
At this moment, she looked at the tall and straight back, and the way he left was like a hermit returning to hermit.
Wuge is not only saying goodbye to Ruoyin, but also saying goodbye to the past and yesterday.
But in Ruoyin's heart, there was an indescribable feeling, empty...
------
A few days after Wu Ge's farewell, it was the day when the old ladies could leave the palace.
When Emperor Kangxi was in power, it was stipulated that court ladies could leave the palace after they were 30 years old.
Thirty years old, in the early marriage of the Qing Dynasty, she is already a super leftover girl.
To put it more seriously, everyone has grandchildren, but you are still a big girl.
After the fourth master came to the throne, the rules were slightly changed to be more humane, and the age for maids to leave the palace was changed from thirty to twenty-five.
But even so, twenty-five is still an old girl.
Of course, there are also palace ladies who leave the palace before the time is up.
They were kicked out of the palace because of arrogance, stupid behavior, disease and other accidents.
